JOINT APPLICATION FOR BLANKET STATEMENTS OF AUTHORIZATION 

Korean Air Lines Co., Ltd. ("Korean") and LAN Peru S.A. ("LAN Peru") (together, the 

"Joint Applicants") hereby respectfully apply under 14 C.F.R. Part 212 and Subpart C of the 

Department's regulations for blanket statements of authorization in order to engage in codesharing to the full extent permitted under the open skies agreements between the United States, 

on the one hand, and the Republic of Korea and Peru, on the other, as described below. In 

support of this Joint Application, the Joint Applicants state as follows: 

1. The Joint Applicants recently entered into a code-sharing agreement (the "CodeSharing Agreement") and intend to initiate the code-sharing services which are the subject of this 

Joint Application on or about October 15, 2014. The initial code-share routes are set forth on 

Appendix A to this Joint Application. The Joint Applicants request prompt approval of this Joint 

Application so that they may initiate the marketing and sale of their code-share services as soon 

as possible. In this regard, the Joint Applicants ask that the Department waive its requirement

Docket DOT-OST-2014-

September 11, 2014; Page 2 

under 14 C.F .R. § 212.1 0( d)(2) that requests for statements of authorization be filed at least 45 

days in advance of the proposed date of implementation. 

2. Korean respectfully requests a blanket statement of authorization under 14 C.F.R. 

Part 212 for Korean to display the LA* designator code on flights operated by Korean in 

conjunction with foreign air transportation of persons, property and mail between points behind 

the Republic of Korea via the Republic of Korea and intermediate points to a point or points in 

the United States and beyond. 1 

3. LAN Peru respectfully requests a blanket statement of authorization under 14 

C.F.R. Part 212 for LAN Peru to the KE* designator code on flights operated by LAN Peru in 

conjunction with foreign air transportation of persons, property and mail between points behind 

Peru via Peru and intermediate points to a point or points in the United States and beyond. 

4. Under this code-sharing arrangement described herein, the Joint Applicants will 

carry traffic of the other carrier between the Republic of Korea and Peru only, and the codesharing services will not be available to either carrier's passengers originating at or destined for 

points in the United States; points in the United States will only serve as a transit point at which 

traffic between the Republic of Korea and Peru will connect. 

5. The Joint Applicants hold the necessary underlying authorities from the 

Department in support of the proposed code-share services. Korean holds a foreign air carrier 

permit authorizing it to engage in foreign air transportation of persons, property and mail, from 

points behind the Republic of Korea via the Republic of Korea and intermediate points to a point 

LAN Peru holds an exemption under 49 U.S.C. § 40109 and a statement of authorization 

under 14 C.F .R. Part 212 permitting it to use the common trade name LAN and display the 

LA* designator code for its services in foreign air transportation to and from the United 

States. See Notice of Action Taken in Docket DOT-OST-2005-21121 (Oct. 25, 2011) 

(timely renewal pending). 
Joint Application of Korean Air and LAN Peru for Blanket Statements of Authorization 

Docket DOT-OST-2014-

September 11, 20 14; Page 3 

or points in the United States and beyond. See Order 2003-11-20 (Nov. 24, 2003). LAN Peru 

holds an exemption issued under 49 U.S.C. § 40109 authorizing it, inter alia, to engage in 

scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property and mail from points behind Peru via 

Peru and intermediate points to a point or points in the United States and beyond. See Notice of 

Action Taken in Docket OST-2008-0271 (Oct. 9, 2008) (timely renewal pending). 

6. The requested code-share authorities are fully consistent with and provided for 

under the "Open Skies" air transport agreements currently in place between the United States, on 

the one hand, and each of the Republic of Korea and Peru. See Air Transport Agreement 

between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of the Republic of 

Korea (executed Jun. 9, 1998), at Article 8, paragraph 7; Air Transport Agreement between the 

Government of the United States of America and the Government of the Republic of Peru 

(executed Jun. 10, 1998), at Article 8, paragraph 7. 

7. Issuance of the blanket statements of authorization sought herein is consistent 

with the public interest. Indeed, as the Department itself has long recognized: 

Increased international code sharing and other cooperative arrangements can 

benefit consumers by increasing international service options and enhancing 

competition between carriers, particularly for traffic to or from cities behind 

major gateways. By stimulating traffic, the increased competition and service 

options should expand the overall international market and increase overall 

opportunities for the aviation industry. 2 

8. Moreover, the proposed services will enable the Joint Applicants to provide 

additional single carrier service and, in the process, enhance competition and benefit 

international travelers and shippers.

9. The Joint Applicants agree to accept the standard conditions typically applicable 

to code-share authority such as that requested in this Joint Application. The Joint Applicants will 

conduct all of their code-share operations in compliance with the requirements of 14 C.F .R. Part 

257 regarding the disclosure of code-sharing arrangements to consumers. 

10. The Joint Applicants will comply with the Department's standard 30-day advance 

notice requirement prior to the initiation of any future code-share operations under the blanket 

statements of authorization sought herein. 

11. The Joint Applicants ask that the blanket statements of authorization requested 

herein be granted for an indefinite period, so long as the Code-Share Agreement continues in 

effect, consistent with the Department's practice in previous code-share proceedings. Should the 

Code-Share Agreement cease to be effective, the Joint Applicants will notify the Department 

according! y. 

12. The Joint Applicants request expedited processing of this Joint Application in 

order to facilitate the initiation of the proposed code-share services on or about October 15, 

2014, and, in this regard, they will be polling the carrier representatives listed on the certificate 

of service accompanying this Joint Application and will notify the Department of the results.
